The Story Behind Jungle Vlog
Dear visitor,
My name is Barend and thankful for your interest in my hobby hacking project!
Since years, I wanted to start with this project called Jungle Vlog. Many of my close friends told me I should start filming all of my rainforest adventures. But along the road I dedicated my time to many other people and businesses.
Basically my life has two sides…
Virtual life
I’m pretty sure I’ve spent half of my lifetime behind a computer display. Thanks to growing up in a house full of computers and network devices, I’ve learned a wide range of hardware, software, internet skills.
The last years I was the webmaster and developer for three different entrepreneurs who run multiple international businesses. During that time I’ve sent out lot’s of energy into the universe, which perfectly reflected on their businesses as intended. In other words, I’ve devoted a few percent (thousands of hours) of my life developing, establishing and improving the overall structure and public image of these companies. During that time I was always covered with endless work. If you once start improving things, it somehow never ends…
Hot tropical rainforests
Because of my screen time, I sometimes really need to fully reboot my myself. I prefer spending my real life being in rain forests. By hiking deep into the jungle and living the simple life I find peace with myself and the world. The rainforests are huge mysteries and many people are afraid of it.
For me it’s a walk in the park. The jungle is definitely my preferred habitat. To be able to live in this endless matrix of trees, plants, creeks, rivers and swamps you need a completely different skillset then for ‘doing business’ in the virtual world. Some people with the most absurd biographies have thought me an interesting range of skills on how to orientate, move and agitate in hot tropical rain forests. My newest hobby is searching for gold. I’ve started walking with a gold detector and learning some basic gold prospecting skills. This often results in crazy, life-threatening and very exhausting adventures. By filming those adventures I would enable my former and today’s teachers and friends to follow my journey. Now the time has come to combine all of my skills, to send out some energy into the universe and make it reflect on me.
Finding the mother lode
My intention is to produce a video series with an episode about every single trip. At least once a month, I’m trekking deep into the jungle in the search of the mother lode. But who knows? Maybe the mother lode is the vlog itself! At least that’s what I thought one day. Until finding the real motherlode, the vlog could create even more money than the gold nuggets I find. Maybe I can even find some brand partnerships. This project is meant to give it a try!
Buckle up and enjoy!

Subscriber status
I’ve re-branded a former YouTube channel and I’m starting with ~6800 YouTube subscribers. I’m sure I will lose quite a few because the channel was dedicated to another niche. I guess that the channel will recover fast. If it fails – I’m going to delete the channel and start a new YouTube channel from scratch. Let’s see!
